Technical Abstract

Provided are a method for paging, a terminal equipment, and a network equipment. The method comprises: a terminal equipment receives indication information sent by a network equipment, the indication information being used for indicating the paging mode used by the current cell of the terminal equipment; the terminal equipment obtains a paging message according to the indication information. In embodiments of the present invention, a network equipment indicates, by means of the indication information, the paging mode used by the current cell of a terminal equipment, so that the terminal equipment can distinguish the paging mode used by the current cell of the terminal equipment, thus paging-related information can be correctly decoded, thereby correctly obtaining a paging message.

6 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for paging, comprising: receiving, by a terminal device, indication information sent by a network device, the indication information being used for indicating a paging manner used by a present cell for the terminal device; and acquiring, by the terminal device, a paging message according to the indication information, wherein the paging manner comprises any one of the following: a first paging manner and a second paging manner, wherein the first paging manner indicates that a core network (CN) device triggers an access network device to transmit a paging message and a paged terminal device is identified by a system architecture evolution (SAE) temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI), and the second paging manner indicates that the CN device triggers the access network device to transmit the paging message and the paged terminal device is identified by a paging indicator (PI), wherein receiving, by the terminal device, the indication information sent by the network device comprises: receiving, by the terminal device, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) from the network device, wherein the PDCCH comprises the indication information and scheduling information of the paging message.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information is used for indicating a resource position of the paging message in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).

3

3. A terminal device, comprising: a transceiver, configured to receive indication information sent by a network device, the indication information being used for indicating a paging manner used by a present cell for the terminal device; and a processor, configured to acquire a paging message according to the indication information, wherein the paging manner comprises any one of the following: a first paging manner and a second paging manner, wherein the first paging manner indicates that a core network (CN) device triggers an access network device to transmit a paging message and a paged terminal device is identified by a system architecture evolution (SAE) temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI), and the second paging manner indicates that the CN device triggers the access network device to transmit the paging message and the paged terminal device is identified by a paging indicator (PI), wherein the transceiver is configured to: receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) from the network device, wherein the PDCCH comprises the indication information and scheduling information of the paging message.

4

4. The terminal device of claim 3 , wherein the scheduling information is used for indicating a resource position of the paging message in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).

5

5. A network device, comprising: a processor, configured to generate indication information, the indication information being used for indicating a paging manner used by a present cell for a terminal device; and a transceiver, configured to send the indication information to the terminal device, to enable the terminal device to acquire a paging message according to the indication information, wherein the paging manner comprises any one of the following: a first paging manner and a second paging manner, wherein the first paging manner indicates that a core network device triggers an access network device to transmit a paging message and a paged terminal device is identified by a system architecture evolution (SAE) temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI), and the second paging manner indicates that the CN device triggers the access network device to transmit the paging message and the paged terminal device is identified by a paging indicator (PI), wherein the transceiver is configured to: send a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI) to the terminal device, wherein the PDCCH comprises the indication information and scheduling information of the paging message.

6

6. The network device of claim 5 , wherein the scheduling information is used for indicating a resource position of the paging message in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).
